They're gong to put that in GT4? It doesn't look like it can be driven very hard.

I really dont like Buicks, but that one looks alright. But watch out for those pebbles, that ground clearence dosen't look like it'll go over much...

This info and pic as been around for a while, but I never thought anybody would dare post it. That thing is fugly! I like old, classic American cars, but this is pushing it.

Just think about the time PD will waste putting this in GT4 when they could put in something we really want.

I'd prefer almost anything to that modded Buick.




Even a Daihatsu Midget

I just realized something, PD dosen't have any other Buick cars in GT4, do they? So, they have to create a new dealer for just this one car? I bet they aren't happy about that!

Maybe now they will put in the 1987 Buick GNX. I hope so. I wanted that car when I was a teen, but I settled for my 69 Dodge Charger, which I hope will make into GT4 also.

It's ugly as hell. I don't think that's a very balanced or even valid car for racing. Just my 2 cents.

It'll be the only car in the whole game that you'll buy a suspension kit to raise the ride height...talk about impractical!

Screw that car... So much for trying to collect every car in the game. Now it is every car minus 3... the Prowler, SS-R truck or whatever it's name is if that's wrong and this horrible buick.

I was expecting someone like bozz to show up and have an evo6 to get put in the game, or something better.... :-/ Not a damn buick....

I wish this was a damn joke....

Wheres the diversity if theres 500 Evo's ans Sklines. If you don't like the car fine, I personally don't either but there has always been cars in a GT game I don't like, that doesn't mean it's no good it being ther, shut up.
